Curious about how our brains can keep us stuck in betrayal? Katie Davis takes you on a journey through the 'motivational triad,' a concept that might just explain why you're caught in the same painful patterns. From checking your partner's phone to avoiding tough conversations, Katie reveals how your primitive brain is trying to keep you 'safe' by decreasing pain, increasing pleasure, and conserving energy.
She shares her personal story of overcoming betrayal and offers practical advice on how to break free from these subconscious traps. With a touch of humour and honesty, Katie discusses the sneaky ways our brains can buffer us from facing reality, like indulging in 'self-care' or doom scrolling on social media.
